Meet & Greet Groundspeak & Garmin in Seattle

Alright, I waited so long to post this (it sat as a draft for a long time), that I've forgotten all the witty stuff I was going to write about this event. Ah, well, the story of my life right now. *rolls eyes*

I guess I shall content myself with just posting the pictures and a comment on most of them.

The Meet & Greet Groundspeak & Garmin in Seattle Event was great! We met with Groundspeak and Garmin at the REI Flagship Store in Seattle, WA. Lots of people came, and we got cookies! :-) We mingled, exchanged trackables, heard a few important people talk, won some stuff, and tried out the Wherigo on the neat REI grounds.
